Display in sunlight

I've had my RAZR (original) for almost 2 years, been happy with it for the most part. I'm not like so many who complainded about battery life, I'm really a VERY lite user. Phone,Text,Browsing the web,calander, just basic stuff. My complaints are, I think the camera is average at best, and the display is AWFUL in sunlight. My question is, has the display on the HD improved the viewing in sunlight? About time for a new phone, so just starting to look around @ whats out there now.

The display will be slightly better in the sunlight, as they improved the "whiteness" of the whites vs. the older Razr lineup. However, any SAMOLED based screen is going to be "so so" at best in direct sunlight. IPS/LCD screens tend to perform better in direct sunlight, but don't look as rich or deep with their colors.

I don't know. I think the camera in my MAXX HD is pretty darn good for what it is. I like using the camera's native HDR mode on the shots I take. I also shoot in it's highest resolution. Seems to liven things up a bit. Here's and example:

I turned my auto brightness off & turned the brightness setting all the way up, it helps outside, a lot, but my battery is done after about 9 hrs. & I am a extremely lite user. So that's not really a good solution for me.
